Classroom Performance System

Filed under: General, Technology, Resources, West — kevin @ 1:28 pm

If you are a faculty member who always wanted a simple way to anonymously and instantly poll your students’ knowledge in the classroom, the CPS - also known as the “clickers” may be for you.

Once the instructor plugs USB receiver into his or her computer, the individual handsets - 24 in all - allow the students to plug in responses to multiple choice questions projected onto the Smartboard. The results are displayed as percentages for selections of A, B, C, or D.

Open case. 

Instant feedback.

West Library is administering the devices, which travel easily in a bag with a shoulder strap. IT’s Julie Lopez provides training. 

The case and the scanning gun.
